CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
A Panic and Scene Of Great Excite
ment.

CHICAGO. March 1O.-The wheat market
had wicked temper today. The scenes Of
excitement which accompanied the sharp ad-
vance Of the preceding three days, were
rivalled shortly after IL o'clock, when there
WAS wild scramble TO unload long wheat
ON n fs.iiias sunrhct. --fuvro-v-svu-rarge
amount Of bear news and disquieting ru-
mors, which provoked a sort Of half panic
and caused one of the sharpest declines in
prices that the trade has known for years.
May delivery dropped to 81 cents, showing
full decline Of five cents from the top fig
ures Of yesterday. The operators who had
become confirmed In their views that q cor
ner IN May wheat was projected, were unde-
clded as to whether clique had sold their
holdings or were simply allowing the market
to drop back, in order to shake out small
dealers. Enormous quantities of wheat
were thrown on the market by local houses,
for customers In stop orders" and where
margins had expired.
The market opened this morning with MAY
at S4s, or lower than last night. A rally TO
84s followed. but under the prossarv OF large
offerings the price broke on to SO. Consider
able ''long" wheat was sold on down turn,
but the Impression was that II was outside
and scattered lots, and not wheat belonging
to the bull clique A rally to S3i succeeded
with more confidence being shown by opera
tors. 1t was reported that the proposed du-
ty on wheat in France was to go into effect,
and this helped the depression. The govern
ment report. showing the amount Of wheat
on hand to be in excess Of the supply one
year ago, was also regarded as a strong bear
argument While these statements may
have had their effect, 1t was noticed that
several Of the former big bear operators had
begun to throw very large quantities Of
wheat on the market BALI million bushel
lots were offered by one or two prominent
bears, and when the panic was near its
large houses had failed. The result was
that prices fell off in the sharpest manner
Imaginable, until May had touched 81. A
reaction to S1A followed, where the market
rested at O'Clock. The rumor Of failures
was disproved in the afternoon, and the
market rallied to S2i, and closed for the day
at S24 and S24.

The Big Railroad Deal.

BALTIMORE, Nd. March 10.-Robert Gar
rett this afternoon virtually admitted to
prominent Baltimore man that there was
considerable truth in the newspapers talk Of
big railroad deal. He would give no def
mite idea of the particulars Of the scheme,
but from his remarks the inference was
drawn that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has become factor in syndicate that is to
control something like a national railway,
reaching from Canada to the Gulf OF Mexico,
and probably from New York to the extreme
west. Ii is generally believed that the
biggest railroad deal on record has been, or
is about to be made, and that the passage OF
the. interstate commerce bill hurried the
affair to a settlement. Mr.. Sully has been
active In arranging the details Of the scheme,
and he is the only one positively known to
be connected with it, but a complete chain Is
believed to have been formed Of companies
operating connecting roads running the en-
tire length OF the North American continent.
Opinions differ as to whether a single share
of the Baltimore and Ohio stock has or will
be transferred, but the belief Is gaining
ground that the deal involves, not only the
read itself. but also its telegraph express
aad sleeping car interests.

THE FISHERIES QUESTION
Discussed by Guests of the Mer-
chants Club.

BOSTON, March 10.-The Merchants Club
this evening entertained as special guests
Congressman Dingley and Boutelle of Maine,
Representatives Rice and Long of Nassa-
chusetts, Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury. and
Captain Fitz j. Babson of Gloucester. Gov
ernor Ames was in attendance, and about 65
gentlemen were gathered around the tables.
President Richard Briggs presided and intro
duced Ex-Governor Dingley of Maine, who
made the principal speech of the evening,
the topic for discussion being the Importance
OF the fishery question and the retaliation
bill lately passed by Congress. Mr.. Dingley
dwelt upon the attempt Of the Canadian
authorities, and those interested in Canadian
fisheries to avoid the point at issue, which is
namely the right to commercial privileges
granted by legislation. He claimed that the
recent legislation was simply responsive and
not retaliatory. If the President executes it
in the spirit which its trainers intended he
will not take step in advance Of that taken
by Canada. so that it will be for Canada to
take the responsibility for every stage of dis
elimination or non-intercourse.
Governor Dingley was followed by Messrs.
Woodbury., Boutelle, Rice, Long and Babson
in the order named. The latter made an in
teresting speech, dwelling upon the import
ance of the fisheries and justifying the course
taken by Congress.

fore O'Clock large number of school ehil-
dren gathered near the place, but were soon
called off.
Since his entrance Besse has been with
drawn from the public gaze and none but
his counsel. Hon. Hosea A. Kingman a
his spiritual adviser, Rev. 4. b. Sleeper. pas
tor Of the Baptist church, and the officers
having him in charge, have seen him, with
one exception, his father, who visited him
several weeks ago. He was almost friend
less. Besse is reported to have been a quiet
prisoner and to have given but little trouble
to officers. He has talked but little and has
spent most Of his time in reading his choice
being mostly of the Bible and other devo-
tional works, history, the better class OF
novels and Of scientific works.
:, concerning the crime committed by Besse,
the clergyman says, while the matter Is so
complicated, no revelations will be made
70 the public. The sheriff from the very first
determined to admit to the execution only
the number Of persons required by law. In
this respect he has met strong Opposition.
but has won strong praise from clergymen,
the churches and the respectable portion of
the community.
Samuel f. Besse was born in Wareham In
January, 1854. He was separated when very
young from his mother, his father marrying
again, and his step-mother proving far from
kind to him. He grew up in an atmosphere
OF vice and intemperance, and was strongly
encouraged in his ways Of dishonesty and
crime. No attempt was made to educate
him, but during the years of his youth and
manhood he learned to become an easy and
proficient reader
During confinement ne read among other
books, the Bible, Geike's Life of sChrist,
Guiz0ts History of France, D'Aubigne's
History Of Reformation and Macaulay's His
tory of England. He said the perusal of
these works had opened up an entirely new
world to him, the existence Of which ne had
never even dreamed. Besse stated that he
had never attended religious service except
In prison. His spiritual advisers statel that
Besse showed quick brain, an appreciative
mind and retentive memory and says he
proved himself quiet, obedient and gentle-
manly prisoner

A Horrible story.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March 10.-The
wealthy and eccentric family Of Denmeads
have lived for years in a wretched under
ground hovel, and furnished food for much
gossip. For two months Mrs. Samuel Dem
mead has not been seen. Every outsider has
been excluded from the hoyel, and this, with
the fact that the woman's husband recently
ordered coffins by wholesale from local
carpenter, caused suspicion. Today the
police were ordered to enter the place. John
Denmead resisted, but was easily overcome.
When the door was opened a f,ightful stencil
assailed the officers, and in rear room were
found the bodies Of Cornelius and Robert
Denmead, horribly deeomposed. John and
Samuel Denmead were taken into custody.
A coroner's jury has been empanelled to de-
termine the cause Of the death of the Den
meads. John Denmead says both died five
weeks ago, and that he wanted to have them
buried and out Of the way, but Samuel would
not listen TO it. When Samuel was taken
into the wash room Of the Jail TO be given a
bath he fought like tiger.

THE FIRE our.
An Invention to Extingulsh Flames
In Railroad Accidents.

NEW YORK, March 1o.-A despatch from
Lincoln, Neb., says: A new Invention to
road accident, has been recently tested in
this city, with fiattering results. The inven-
tion consists of an apparatus fixed to the in
side of car directly over the stove, with a
pipe connecting the two together: IL the
coach telescopes or rolls over in the ditch,
the extinguisher is sat once discharged into
the stove, ard at the test made, the FIRE was
so completely extinguished that not a spark
could be found in the debris after the dis
charge. From the working model and ex-
periments made, it appears that the inven-
tion is practical, and steps win be taken at
once to introduce IL TO railroad managers.

HANGED UNTIL DEAD.
The Execution of Besse Strictly Pri-
vate-No Reporters Allowed.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, March 1o.-Samuel f.
Besse was hanged this morning, at s.SS
o'clock. The body was cut down at 9.03.
The execution was strictly private, only the
twelve witnesses required by law, the pris-
oner's counsel, his spiritual adviser and Jail
physician, besides the sheriff and his assist
ants, being present. The course followed
by Sheriff Harmon has been approved by the
best citizens, and he has received many let
ters encourasing him in the stand he has tax
en- against making such an occasion public,
and his method will probably be followed by
the sheriffs of other counties in all future
hangings, the matter having been thoroughly
discussed at the recent annual dinner Of the
sheriffs in Boston. Sheriff Harmon has been
besieged with requests for admission, but
has refused all. Newspaper correspondents
Jared the same as the rest, ana have OBJ
tanned nothing whatever from the officers
who had charge Of the affair. Besse's last
night on earth was passed mostly in Sleep
His spiritual adviser spent the evening until
10 O'Clock in the cell, when Besse retired and
at once fell asleep. At 2 o'clock he awoke,
walked the floor for a while, then he again
went to bed and slept It'll the turnkey arous-
ed the prisoners. Soon after, Rev. Mr..
Sleeper visited him, and found him much re-

which the warrant was read to him in his
cell, and his arms were pinioned by Sheriff
Wheeler.
His final words were said, in which he
thanked the sheriff and his deputies for
their kindness to him during his last days
upon earth, and said he could not have been
used better by any one. He was conducted
to the gallows by the sheriff, Deputies
Spring and Wheeler, and Rev. Mr.. Sleeper,
who offerad prayer. Deputy Sheriff Spring
supported him and Deputy Wheeler PIN
ioned his arms and legs and then drew the
black cap over his head, adjusted the moose,
and Sheriff Harmon sprung the trap at o3o,
and Besse dropped about five feet.
The body hung until 9.03, when it was cut
down, life being extinct. 1t was. at once
placed in coffin, and soon after the under
takers wagon backed up to the door and the
coffin and contents were taken to Wareham,
to Besse's father, who claimed the re-
mains. No one has been admitted to the
jail, nor was any one allowed to view the
remains of Besse. There was no crowd and
no demonstration around the jail. just be.
